Shattered vows

Words that cut too deep

Actions that burn within

A vow was made, 

Yet betrayal is all I gained.

As time passed,

The pain you gave me 

Erased the love  I once held.

I won’t let these feelings turn into hate,

But disappointment is a weight I cannot shed

I trusted you,

And you deceived me. 

All my aspirations, 

My expectations, 

My admiration, 

My emotions-

Could not outlive the despair I felt.

You dimmed the light from my eyes

And snuffed the life from my heart.

Death did us apart

As hell became your path.
